That's an interesting headpiece shown on the girls on the poster. I've seen a lot of anime, and hence a lot of shrine-related episodes, but I don't recall seeing anything like that.
Would anyone know if that headpiece/hat is part of a particular festival, perhaps? Or specific to that individual shrine? |

I would really love to have that Love Live poster...
The idols look really enthusiastic with their time at the matsuri. |

That is called 'kazashi', and it is plants as a decoration which nobles wore on their heads or headgears at ceremonies. Some scholars think that it is derived from ancient people's having tried to receive life force from plant spirits. You can see kazashi also at ceremonies of other shrines than Kanda Myōjin. Kazashi is also mentioned in The Tale of Genji.
